As reported in the quarterly report of Parabel Inc.

That debt and accrued interest was classified in the Form 10-Q as a current liability on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2012 under “current portion of notes payable – related party” and “accrued expenses – related party” as the maturity date of the full balance plus accrued interest was June 30, 2012.

The agreements are filed as Exhibit 10.1 and 10.2 to this Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. In addition, these agreements provide that in the event the Company or PA LLC hold, individually or together, cash or cash equivalents in excess of $50,000,000 in the aggregate, then any such amounts held in excess of $50,000,000 shall be applied to pre-pay the outstanding notes held by PetroTech and Valens to the extent of such excess.
